No Price Comparisons Required


Ontario electricity retailers won't have to give consumers a side-by-side price comparison, showing what they would pay with or without an energy contract.

Ontario Energy Board spokesman Alan Findlay says it's hard to compare prices because the regulated price is adjusted regularly.

A draft electricity contract form, released for discussion back in December, has disappeared from the Ministry of Energy website.

A Ministry spokesperson says it was removed to avoid confusion with energy board proposals.
